How politicians think
This is a public forum as we all know. If petitions like this one, open carry being another, large capacity mags, hand guns for protection from dangerous animals etc. also serve as surveys for the antis.
If this petition gets lukewarm support the politicians who read it will assume that the population is opposed, so they will be opposed.
Follow this close.
They can then easily pervert your petition to support a bill that will require ALL shooters to ALWAYS to wear hearing protection. Not because they care one wit if you go deaf, but just to make hunting more difficult.
Some of you need to clip this out and stick it on your bathroom mirror. Not every one supports our hobbies.
